Does Your Polo Shirt's Collar Curl After Washing? Learn How to Maintain a Crisp Look

Comfortable enough, polo tshirt for men is something that can be dressed up or dressed down as per convenience. Originally made for sports like tennis, polo t-shirts have smoothly made their way among the daily essentials of men’s wardrobes. On the other hand, everyone has experienced the annoyance and frustration of collar curling. An impeccable collar is the foundation of a well-made ensemble. It is important and gives a put-together appearance. 

While you wonder the reason behind it, we are here with all the answers and even the solutions too. 

Why does the Polo shirt’s collar curl? 

There are several factors leading to the curling of the collar after every wash. Some of them are: 

Fabric quality: A significant factor in the collar's curling is the fabric's quality. These T-shirts are typically composed of performance fabrics, cotton, or cotton blends and are incredibly comfy. Despite the fabric's breathability and light weight, washing it could destroy its quality and shape. However, the way of drying it and storing it also makes a lot of difference. 

Improper washing: every fabric has its own wash care. Washing Polo T-shirts the wrong way can result in fabric distortion. Using high heat, improper detergents, or not turning the shirt inside out can contribute to collar curling. Additionally, overloading the washing machine while washing the T-shirt can also create friction, leading to wear and tear of the cloth. 

Frequent ironing and heat exposure: the care of the Polo T-shirt is not just limited to the fabric and wash care; aftercare and storing also play an important role. Exposing it to heat or direct sunlight while drying can damage the fabric. Ironing it at high temperatures is also one of the reasons for the collars curling up. 

How to prevent the collar of your Polo T-shirt from curling? 

While there are various reasons for curling up the collar, there are always some ways you can prevent or correct it. 

Wash with care: it is highly suggested to turn the T-shirt inside out to reduce friction between t shirts and polos and the drum. This helps protect the collar. When washing the T-shirt, use cold water and a mild detergent to prevent shrinking. Choosing a gentle cycle is also very important. A gentle wash cycle is less abrasive on the fabric. Additionally, it is also suggested not to overload the machine. It can result in stretching and destroying the fabric. Make sure there’s enough space for your polo to move around freely.

Drying tips for crisp collars: ditch the tumble dryer and go for air drying to get a crisp collar. High heat can cause the collar to shrink and, ultimately, curl. While the T-shirt is still damp, reshape the collar with your hands, smoothening the wrinkles and folds. Pay extra attention to the collars. If you are using a dryer, set the heat levels to low. 

Ironing: while ironing the T-shirt, make sure that the heat is not very high. High heat can destroy the fabric. Cotton fabrics can take higher heat, but it’s always better to start low and gradually increase the temperature if needed.

Invest in collar stays: If you want to significantly improve your collar game, make this purchase. Although they are more frequently found in dress shirts, they can help keep polo shirts looking put together and prevent collar curls. 

Conclusion: 

Polo t-shirts are a timeless piece of clothing that is go-to. It just requires a little care and attention. And with the right care, it can be made very long-lasting. Curling of the collars is a very common problem but by following the above-given solutions, you can confidently serve a smart and crisp look.

Every night, at almost the exact same time, the chickens come in for bedtime. (The one at the end who turns to go behind the door is heading to their "roost," which happens to be a vacuum cleaner box.) #creaturesofhabit #chicken #chickens #chickensofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BnfByeugklU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rbkkpqdhg8eu

It amazes me how people can adapt to such significant change in our world, and although I see many people put their best efforts into and create change, I know that most don’t change, or at least not in a planned intentional manner.

#Polaris' second album #TheDeathOfMe picks up where their debut album #TheMortalCoil left off, as the title suggests it mainly deals with losing faith in one's self, and in the world itself. Jamie Hails and Jake Steinhauser's vocal duo continues to impress, with Jamie's solid screaming complements Jake's cleans very well. Not only that this is another heavy album musically, this is also heavy in an emotional aspect which makes this a perfect album to listen to for people who are going through a dark point in their lives. Best songs are #Landmine, #Hypermania, #PrayForRain, #Masochist, #AboveMyHead, and #CreaturesOfHabit. 🔥🤘 #Metalcore #Metal #PostHardcore #PostRock #ProgressiveMetal #Rock https://www.instagram.com/p/B85C2cJJdaN/?igshid=1cvfq6dk6nh1v

Why 🤔 do men do so much to get a woman 😍 and so little to keep her 🤦‍♀️ but then want to do all of the things they should've done to begin with when they want to get her back? 🤷‍♀️

Miss 5 ‘But why!’ Me ‘Because it’s not healthy for you’ Miss 5 ‘But I haven’t had lollies in ages’ Me ‘Lollies are not a given’ Miss 5 - stamps off unhappy Setting a good example now for my children will set them up for success. I have three beautiful little girls! They are my whole world. In the first 8 years of their life I have the option to show them a good healthy role model or a bad health role model. It’s not enough to just tell them this is good food or this is bad. The conversation above is not enough, but showing them is. We are creatures of habit, we learn from our surroundings and we copy those around us. Especially as children! What is your bigger purpose. If you can’t do it for yourself then think about what can motivate you to live a healthier life. I can’t imagine the guilt I would have if I set a bad example for my children that they then took on board and suffered the consequence for it later. Find your bigger purpose! . . . #healthyliving #goodexamples #children #creaturesofhabit #rolemodel #nourish #livingmybestlife #freedom #lifestyle #purpose #mentor #thrive https://www.instagram.com/p/BnMvVY7H8Mz/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ls53usp7k5ek
